August 2006 - Seaventures Dive Resort, Sabah Borneo.
Seaventures Dive Resort is one of the cheaper priced options in the area and the standard of accommodation is reflected in the price. The entire Rig smells rusty and the floors and bathrooms are dirty. HOWEVER if you're prepared to put up with this and you're looking for a cheap option to dive Sipadan this is a good choice. Food is excellent and dive equipment is of a good standard. We stopped visiting when we discovered they dumped their resort rubbish at sea instead of paying the extra fuel to dispose of it on the mainland of Semporna.
